Answer 1

Here are some large free sites.

I save this and paste it because people ask the same question 1 - 4 times a day, either in

Arts & Humanities -> Genealogy

or somewhere else. If you search or browse the resolved questions in the Genealogy category, you can find more links from other people.

http://www.cyndislist.com/
(240,000+ links, all cross-indexed.)

http://www.familysearch.com
(Mormon's mega-site)

http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
(450,000,000+ entries, some excellent, some bad, most in between)

http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/default.aspx?ln=
Surname meanings and origins; no specific individuals, but fun.


These are for the USA only:

http://www.usgenweb.net/
(Subdivided into state sites, which all have county sites.)
(Canada has a Canadian Gen Web, with sites for each province.)

(Social Security Death index - click on "Advanced".)

http://find.person.superpages.com/
(US Phone book, for looking up distant cousins)

If you get serious, you should probably buy a genealogy program. I like Roots Magic. Family Tree Maker is very popular. Both are $29, but you can sometimes find old versions in discount bins at software stores.

Answer 2

It hasn't a concrete history, it's an Spanish Family Name, and it makes reference to the descendants of Lope, which is a name that nowadays isn't in use...
One famous Lope was 'Lope de Vega' who was a writer.

And I can say you also that the word lope comes from the Latin word 'lop' which means wolf... So, here in Spain we have some river names related to them like 'Guadalope' or 'Guadalopillo' which are supposed that during the Roman conquest should be full of wolves.
